UmjkM ENTERPRISE PI'IUMIRI) BVKRY MoKNiNu BY STEVENSON & SMITH. EIIITOUS AM) pROI'HIKToKN. MACON. QA., APRIL 11. 1873. Mrs M. O Organ, of Delaware county, Ohio, is walking to New York city as a “restoration of health.*’ She travels in lJloomer costume, and calls on the editors iti tbe towns sbe passes through. In re turn they all taka pleasure in seeing her departure from the place. - • -w - One of the strange lr<-uk* of fashion in New York is the rustem of the upper tendoiu of wearing their camel hair slinul- long side out An tioilulioii s' ael iia- tan-it gotieii up and adopiod It} all the domestics ol *ie city. Uut Ihe miong suit: tills the h>l). Aslliu g'II uino rtiiinoi he deterit-U front the imitation on tint rigid side, this odd custom has l>eeli adopt i*l.

We will not (mi) up our uose at a living Jf.mi, hut u deud pig excites our diigust. This Eastman Uki.i.k —H. YV J. Hum editor of the Eastman, Dodge county, Georgia Times, lays down the following rules for Indies to strictly observe in that town : • A lady to he extremely stylish now must be. narrow enough, taken In front, to pass between the handies of a wheel barrow without touching either side, but she call make it up by uny amount of pro jectlon behind Her head must bn narrow ; broad heads are very unfashionable. Her hair must nil go to the top. Her hat must have all ornamentation massed at the back. The sides must in all respects be flat und narrow, the bat plastered on behind, the lmir parted on the left with some cards and camps on the right of the forehead. Then an embroidered camel's hair polonaise ; side fastened with im mense elaij if oxydlzed silver. A little chunk handled English umbrella, swing ing. like a sword, by an oxydi/.ed chain. A skill heavily trimmed, tbe fullness taken entirely to the rear, and rather short front and sides, but sweeping quite a train just behind. That’s the pretty picture to-day. * Remarks arc poatiirely out of order. licaiorrais <>n tlio <(uurter Ntrrti'b. Defeated in the great four mile heat last year, the Deuiocruts are beating a lively tune on the quurlcr stretch. They have elected a Governor in Con necticut-carried municipal electors right and left all the way from there to llliuois, and from thence to the mountains. " Kar along From peak to peak, the rattling crags among l.eapa the live thunder. Not from one chirni, Hut every mountain now bad found a tongue, And .tura imawera, through her misty shroud, Hack to the joyous Alps, who call to her aloud.' The party is mismanaged. It needs new men at the lisad of it. It is not what it once was. It is fossiliferous, effete and suffering from a dreadful case of dry rot. The people of the United States have con demned both the radical and the demo cratic parties, aa wanting in those elements of virtue and progress which is now Im peritlvely detnatuled. One feeds upou freali garbage—the other is trying te ex tract a living from tombs. Both will tail. And under anew name ami ideas advanced to the spirit of the limes u new purty will rule and dictate | the policy of this loluiiry within the nex four years. Th* l.nwl IHomniU ot n C'i inilnial 'The Athens Goorgiau has this account of the last moments of the negro who was hanged at Jefferson recently, for the criuic rape : “Through the kindness of Sheriff Hunter we wero admitted into the jail, where we interrogated the prisoner as to his guilt, etc. He positively denied the crime—said lie was innocent, and that lie was to sulfer for someone else. We cross examined him, and, as vf* expected, he would contradict himself. lie said he was not afraid to die, but felt as if he would lie saved. The prisoner was about twenty veins of age, with a low, receding fore head, and the pure African demonstrated in every lineament of his face, llis gen eral visage pronounced him but a very few degrees removed from the brute creation. When the Deputy Sheriff descended into the cellar to bring him up Norwood quietly remarked. • I apoae my day duu cum.’ When he stepped upon the top floor. Sheriff Hunter handed a cigar to him. which lie accept ed. lit. and smoked on hi* way to the gal lows He mounted the wagon and pro j cceded on his way. laughing and talking to Iba cruwo ns he went along He mount ed the scaffold, mol to >k Ills seat upon the doomed stand VVa have not space to give [•articular* of • I that |aissed on the stand. '1 he prifoin r, with that utter disregard lor all truth protested his innocence, and tried to tix the crime upon some of the mo*( respectable citizen* of Jackson conn ly. He was very inaaleut and abusive, and Tiled singing •! am Going Home to Die no More.’ Dr. Long was in attend ance, together with another pbyeician whose name we did not learn. The drop was sprung by Sheriff Hunter, and after an examination by Dr. Long, he was pro- j nounced dead, and his body turped over to friends for interment. ’’ 1 The man} recent executions wnicb have taken place in the eountry of late, sud especially the peculiar features of tbo Foster case, have given rise to a more earnest discussion of the wisdom of capi tal punishment, and the brutality of bang ing. Professor Burt Wilder advocates chloroforming tbe condemned to death. And now the Philadelphia Medical Times, a weekly paper that has in a few months asserted its title to high consideration os au authority in all matters concerning its speciality, takes notice of this discussion on the gallows, and asks: “Why cannot condemned criminals spend their last mo menta in a room in which carbonic acid is generated, by the well known means, until life is extinct? The very silence nl the process would be impressive. The uiHNii rer would imply cease to exist ililong men. woliout nil) oppoitunily for Innv.clo will,'.ui piliiii, ins power to eit • lute again*' * stmugir power to torture IV law would be vindicated, and the hrule eourasif of ih i ' game ’ convict would have no chance to infect his asm Ciaies.” W hose Uk* Crime I Reporter—Do you lay this disaster at Capt Williams’s door ? Mr Vick—Nh all, sir. JVrsuully, I sin very fond ui Capt Williams, and if 1 Imd a vei set to |iut to sea to-morrow Capt Williams should command it. Ifu :ude die one iiiftiake of his life in going ep About one o'clock lie went to the cliait room, Hud did not come out again until the vessel struck lie was the coolest man on board, and did the most for the passen eer. As to Ids drinking, I could swear that he never drank during the voyage. Even at the hall suppers he didn’t take any wine, lie admits that he made a miscal culation, and by it we were taken thirty two miles from our bearings. The Captain is now us near crazy as any man can be. He does not speak of the wreck without weeping bitterly, and endures tbe greatest mental agony. I feel sorry for Capt. Wil - liams, and believe him to bn as comp< leni on oillcer as ever sailed a ship. Reporter—Well, Mr. Vick, who is re sponsible for this loss of life? Mr. Vick—The managers at Liverpool, sir. Thu agent ulllrms it when he sa> s the vessel took only ‘.Mill tons of coal, when she is supposed to carry 1,400. Coming over, Mr. Merritt and Mr Fisher went down to look at the coal bins, and came up with their bunds black, and said, "Cheer up, we've got coal enough to last." I beard later that they were burning ashes and oil, and I never heard any of the otli cersdeny the story. We were short of provisions also, for when we were 575 miles from Handy Hook we had only two days' provisions. Considering the March winds ami tbe large number of passengers on hoard we certainly ought to have iiad coal bunkers filled to the top. Tbe Liver pool men are to blame, sir, and not Capt. Williams. I knew a large number of the passengers, and deplore their death. Tbo Merrills were tine people, and, as I told their relative, they arc among the unfor tunate.
